Análise de um sistema de gestão de uma agroindústria baseado no WCM e níveis de maturidade com foco em melhoria contínua

Abstract

In such a competitive scenario for the soy production chain, in Brazil, processing agroindustries seek to direct their efforts and strategies towards incremental improvements, that is, they seek to develop continuous improvement. However, the various existing methodologies leave many “gaps” in the implementation process, making it necessary to understand the organization through its maturity. And in this way, apply the methods according to the company's evolution in the concepts of continuous improvement. Through exploratory research, focusing on a case study, the present work seeks to analyze how an agribusiness has evolved in its continuous improvement management systems with an adaptation of World Class Manufacturing. With a focus on the construction of the Continuous Improvement pillar and how each methodology was allocated according to the company's maturity. From this analysis, the main success factors were listed, both for the development and for the implementation of a continuous improvement management system, underpinning the fact that understanding and developing people effect the success of continuous improvement methodologies.
